! the past.
METAL RIBBON is used for sashes with more or
| less bizarre effect
BATHING SUITS are beautifully Lees. II that be
possible than last year.
STEEL SPANGLKs are used on some stylish and
elaborate wraps this season.
SINCE the hair has been dressed In plain ban
oeaux, combs have come into fashion again.

Ing, are now generally worn on close bonneta
LOUIS QUAToRzE basQues and vests are stylish
and much liked this season for the new Bengalines
WHITE LACE HATS are q revival In millinery, and

day.
WIsrERIA is one of the prettiest artificial flowers
feiteo.
THE WHITE VELVET VEST bestrewn with cut steel
beads are recherche when worn with tailor
made costume.
MANY Rows Of silver braid make q vest much
like the coat OF mail in eject, as they show only
solid 'front.' piece.
CRoss-BARRRD NUNS WILLING is stylish, and prom
Uses to be much worn the coming season, as being
newer than the plain.
LITTLE JOCKEY CAPS Of silk are worn for tennis,
and are very Jaunty, being in two colors to har-
monte with the costume.
WHITE AND SCARLET will be used in bathing cos
tunes this season. Whole scarlet suits are much
liked, and have gay eject on the sands.
NEW French material, called ''Trouyille cloth, >
has been introduced for bathing dresses. 1t comes
| In all cOlors. and is very light and clinging.
PARAsoLs are covered with double faced silks,
some having plain color outside and striped out
stde others with stripes outside and plain lining.
A PRETTY AND ALSO STYLISH way to make surah
silk for half mourning is to combine it with o
large black and white plaid, which comes In soft
quality.
A BATHING SUIT of jersey cloth is not desirable
and must OF necessity shrink somewhat in the salt
water Serge ls1nfnitely better and is much more
inexpensive.
ART LACEs, so-called, are stylish for elaborate
seaside costumes this season, and are seen in
variety OF combinations, two colOrs being used to
make the effect.
THR LATEST CRAZE in fancy work is modelling f1ow-
ers In gutta-percha paste. 1t is not very recent
invention, but 1t has only recently been popular
lied as fancy work.
TRoUvnLE GLOVES stitched with white instead
OF the color OF the glove are the stylish wear for
this season, There is no embroidery on the back,
length.
MANY OF THE DRESSES made for little children
are of some soft, light material, with a zouave
jacket and full blouse Of thin white muslin. The
skirts are killed. or full and plain. The less trim
ming the better.
EMBROIDERED MUSLIN DRESSES are stylish and
make charming costumes for either morning or
afternoon wear. Ribbon inserted between rows OF
embroidery make the most stylish trimmings for
such costumes.
BENGALINE over a bright red silk petticoat,
| red hat made Of shirred Grape, red sunshade
with wide plaitings OF red Brussels net and red
SHOES, completed q brilliant costume made for
Newport belle.
The BEST METHOD OF preserving the freshness OF
natural flowers to be worn in the hair or on dress
or bonnet Is to surround the ends OF the stems in
mostened powdered charcoal, this powder filling
little bed OF moss.
HATS OF CHIP, covered with pleating and puffs of
gauzy stuffs, generally muslin, made gay with
punches Of field flowers tied together carelessy on
low prices for sundownS
The BOPEKP and pOSy bOnnets are among the
most fashionable things In head-gear seen this
season, and for young faces they are attractive,
but there Is wOndrOus lack Of any suitable head
covering for those past their youth.
SOME OF THE NEW TRAVELLING HATS for the sum-
mer are made OF tweed to match the gown. The
favor1te shape seems to be the 'Jockey," and they
are often trimmed with striped gauze veil, har-
monizng with the prevailing color OF hat and
dress.
THE BATHING Surf now consists of four different
parasitic waist and skirt, the knickerbockers
sash. and Spanish jacket. Some OF these costumes
in red and white are exceedingly pretty. The
turban is arranged 1auntily, with pretty bow In
front, in which the two cOlOrs are used.
NEW DESIGNS FOR HANDKERcHIEFs are exquisitely
dainty. One has border consisting OF seven
waved lines in the finest hemstitching alternat-
Ing with regular rows OF worked dots. Another
mas the little star-lke pixie" to form narrow
narrow edging in real valencienneS.
SONB OF THE NEW DUST CLoAKs for summer
wear are very handsome and stylish. Others look
as If designed merely as an excuse for the buying
lined with pink or blue, are OF this class, Among
the really useful models lately exhibited were
those Of dove gray or beige mohair, cashmere, and
canvas, extremely fine in quality, and OF close
Newmarket shape In the back, with semi-loose
fronts buttOned to the waist and there tied with
brown satin Ribbon A sort OF trellis pattern in
golden-brown silk formed a delicate woven stripe
down the front, on the collar and sleeves, and
stylish, was certainly effective as means OF pro-
lection against dust and the color would not show
thorough shaking after a dusty journey new Would

WARN WEATHER FURN1TURK.-It has grown to
be the fashion to make complete change OF fur
niture, drapings, and the like, and to put our
homes in summer apparel, TO take up carpets that
entirely cover the floors, and replace with rugs
hot weather, besides making them attractive TO
the eye. Then, regarding mating, one has only
to walk through some OF our large furnishing
warehouses in town to see for how small sum a
door can be laid with novel and artistic covering
The winter carpet gains by the summer rest, and
will last longer. One need not be extravaganza to
refurnish rooms In good taste for the heated term
as, with the use Of few bottles of stain, the
floors can be darkened; few more OF gold,
bronze or enamel will completely transform the
appearance OF the quaint od-rashioned chairs rel
egated to the attic The heavy.looking winter
art lace or simple Nottingham or scrim. Cush.
Ions, fOot-stools and divans can be covered with
DAINTY cretonne II gay Watteau,designs.
The Philosopher on the BAH Ground.
From the Rochester Post-Expresa
1t is pitiabe thing to see man stand at the
home-base with q club in his hand whack at the
ball thrown to him by the pitcher-and miss
1t. The baf1ed effort and the waste OF strength
disappoint US, even though the striker be-
longs to the visiting nine, and they disgust
US II he belongs to the home club In. the world
fortune IS tossing men opportunities constantly,
and the bungler spreads his legs, swings his club
and-beat5 the air. He never seems to hit any.
